I've search and googled this, can't find much.. I've built a 223ai, 700sa with a 1/8 twist krieger barrel finished at 30". Also throated for the vld's. Looking for any help with loads for this setup. Thanks

My load with 80 gr. VLD, HBN coated
LC brass
CCI 400
26.6 gr H4895
This is a fairly stiff load in my 1:7 twist, 20" barreled Remy 700, Have NOT ran this load in mid-summer heat yet. I had occasional pierced primers with br4's
I would trust you would start with a somewhat milder load and work up!

My load for 80gr bergers, naked:
Lapua Brass
cci400
26.1 TAC
2920-ish FPS out of a 22 inch rock 8 twist. I worked up to 26.6 of TAC, but once the heat of Houston showed up, it put me over the pressure edge. Lesson learned on load development in winter.

If you have RE17 handy you might give it a try.
I got 80 grain Sierras up to 2880 in a 20" barrel.
Also there is a gentleman working with the 80-90 grain class bullets in the 30" straight 223 that posts on 6mmbr and long-range.com.
I think his screen name is JerryHM.
